Since Hurricane Maria, hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans have left the island and moved to the U.S., many now live in Orlando, Fla, making them eligible to vote in the November elections. That can make a really big difference in a state where razor-thin election margins are the norm. That's why politicians and groups like the Libre Initiative are working to engage with the Puerto Rican community and get them to the polls.
